Region 8 has gone to Keolis Downer for 8 years. All on demand services to be made permanent. Two year job guarantee for STA maintenance staff and drivers

Scant on details. Who was trialling the National and where was it taken? Were drivers at Ryde getting attacked at an alarming rate at this time? One ex Ryde driver showed me why he quit in the form of a stabbing scar on his abdomen! I wonder if that McVicars PMC Leyland in the last picture was on t...

The bus operated by Transit Systems was destroyed by fire, likely the result of an electrical fault.

It traces the old 550 route by both N&W and STA. I suppose its mostly for Macquarie Uni students towards Parramatta to offer an early set down

X15 and X18 lost their importance when the AM services were cut. If anything, they in its current form were relief services for Ryde-Henley rather than express services for Denistone East that still maintain the 297

I think you will find that the Airport Express was deliberately killed off by Government interference. The service had been provided by the STA since around 1983 and operated out of Port Botany depot. It operated for about 16 to 18 hours per day and ran seven days per week. The bright yellow/blue/b...
